Fantasy Football

It's that time of year again. Fantasy football is somewhat big in baseball. Of course everyone likes to watch football. Since the football season starts right when the baseball season ends it is a perfect time to do a FF league. All the guys have been together the whole year and have developed friendships. Fantasy football is the perfect way to keep in touch and continue to talk smack. If you couldn't tell by my previous posts, we like to talk smack. When you have out with 30 other guys all summer nothing is off limits. Anyway, back to the topic. I am going to be at my all time high of fantasy leagues this year at 5. I am doing on with some old Dodger friends that I have been in since 2005, 1 with some old Jacksonville Suns friends that we have done since 2006 with keepers, 1 with the Spokane Indians guys from this year, 1 with some Rangers guys from this year, and 1 with my friends that we are just starting this year. That's a lot of drafts and lineup setting. Hopefully I can keep up.

Today was my first draft for the Dodgertown League. I had the 11th pick out of 12 guys and the 16 round draft took just under 3 hours. Damn, that was a long draft. My first pick at number 12 was Larry Fitzgerald. Then I heard he was on the cover of Madden '10. I hope he avoids the curse. 1 down, 4 more to go.

Funny side note.....
In one of the later rounds I drafter Mushin Muhammed. This what the breaking news for him was this:

Muhammad (old) is being limited to one practice a day during training camp, the Panthers' official site reports.
Spin: The 36-year-old wideout is getting the preventative maintenance plan in order to remain healthy once the regular season begins. He's still the Panthers' No. 2 receiver, but Dwayne Jarrett could become more of a factor if Muhammad struggles with injuries this season.

His injury is described as OLD. Wow!
